Biography
Isaac Roth was born in Brooklyn, New York City in 1976 to a Hasidic Jewish family, and he worked as a diamond dealer. Roth became an associate of the American Mafia, and Roth and fellow diamond dealer Mori Green became leaders of the Jewish Mob in New York, smuggling conflict diamonds from Africa into the United States. In 1997, he was convicted of possessing stolen property, and he was also convicted for smuggling conflict diamonds into the USA in 2000. In 2008, Roth arranged to buy some diamonds from the Pegorino crime family at the National History Museum, but the deal was crashed by Luis Fernando Lopez, leading to a shootout between the Jewish mobsters and the Mafia hitmen. Roth blamed Ray Boccino for the ambush and threatened to kill him, leading to Boccino sending Niko Bellic to kill Roth at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel. Bellic killed several of Roth's enforcers in a massive shootout, and he cornered Roth on the roof. Roth was gunned down by Bellic, who proceeded to escape the building, which was strewn with the bodies of several mobsters.
